Additional Troubleshooting Steps

However, some users have encountered issues, such as their device settings overriding the Quora settings. Here are a few additional steps to ensure you're in the light mode:

Using an iPhone

If you're using an iPhone, it's possible that the 'Dark Mode' setting is enabled on your phone. You should check this and change it if necessary:

Open your iPhone settings. Find and enable 'Auto-Collapse' for Quora by changing the setting to 'Auto' or 'Off' briefly. Alternatively, you can simply switch it to 'Light' mode.

Profile Settings Check

Click on the icon for your profile, then go to settings. Look for the option named Dark Mode. If it is currently set to 'ON', click it to turn off and switch to 'Light' mode.

Device Restart

A few users have reported that the light mode does not work on certain devices, such as iPhones. They advise using 'auto' as a workaround. For others, the issue could be related to their web browser settings. Here are some more specific solutions:

Browser-Specific Solutions

Check Browser Settings

Make sure your web browser is not set to dark mode. For example, using Firefox, you can change the display mode in settings, but it might revert to dark mode when you open a new page or navigate to a different page.

Setting the mode to 'auto' could help synchronize the display mode with your device settings.
